This 10-page article, published by Nature Publishing Group, discusses research related to neuromorphic computing. This research involves "... a biomimetic audiomorphic device that captures the neurobiological architecture and computational map inside the auditory cortex of barn owl..." Mimicking...
Module Description:
This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), introduces "various concepts associated with scale, and a comparison of the macro, micro and nano-scales." This module is divided into the following six units: Knowledge Probe (KP) or Pre-test, Comparison of...
This animated learning object provides a brief introduction to the subject of nanotechnology. Questions discussed include: What makes nanoscience special? What is the history of nano? What can nanotechnology be used for by scientist and industry? What are the ethical and environmental challenges?
This webinar recording is provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) and covers advances in transmission electron microscopy. The webinar covers topics such as improving microscope resolution, the first electron microscope, the layout of a transmission electron...
Module Description:
This module was created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link) and introduces students to aerogels. "In this module, students will learn about aerogels and some of the nanoscale phenomena that give aerogels their remarkable properties." Science and nanoscience...
This presentation, provided by the project Using Remote Technology in Real-Time to Enhance Nanotechnology and Training at Oakton Community College, describes the field of additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is the build up of "successive layers" to achieve a final shape, where as the...
This article, published by Nanowerk, provides an example of the way in which the use of nanotechnology in combination with other branches of science and technology leads to technological innovations. The paper cites a specific instance where "the convergence of nanotechnology, microtechnology,...
This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, uses an EasyBake oven and edible materials as a means to interest younger students in nanotechnology. The creation of a 'wafer' in the EasyBake oven simulates concepts in chip fabrication for electronic devices, such as...
In this animated object, learners consider how nanoscientists are mimicking intracellular movements when building nanobots.
Created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization at Pennsylvania State University, this presentation provides an introduction to products and careers related to nanotechnology. After providing a definition of nanotechnology, the presentation goes on to illustrate the size of a...
